BJJ Scoring

Guys, Ollie asked me to send around the BJJ scoring system , which I think is a great idea, so here it is:

4 points – mount, back grab

3 points – passing the guard

2 points – take downs, sweeps and knee on the belly

Remember though, you can be 100-0 down and submit the guy and win. Submission ALWAYS win.

For info on disqualifications, please speak to Dave "Ultimate Oaksey" Oaks

Cheers

Enzo

Basics of the Spider Guard, Ryan Hall Take the Back Technique & £100 Prize

Guys, here is a video discussing the basics of the spider guard. Hopefully this will be a useful addition to the spider guard techniques we are drilling in class this week.

Plus here is the video of the Ryan Hall taking the back technique that Wes was demoing last night and his explanation of it. PLEASE NOTE - Arlans has 'said' he will give £100 to anyone that pulls this off in a competition and submits your opponent with a rear naked choke.

Thank Yous & BJJ Hertfordshire Birthday Party - Response Required Please

BJJ Hertfordshire has now been open for 1 year. Here are a few thank yous

First of all I would just like to thank everyone that has ever attended a BJJ class you have made this an incredible year. 

It really means a lot to me that I have been able to share the amazing sport of Jiu Jitsu with you

For all the guys that have believed in what we have tried to build and have signed up as monthly members - a special thank you.

Throughout the year many people have given stuff & time to make BJJ Hertfordshire better - Arlans (for just being Arlans), Anthony (assistant Instructor for the kids class), Andrew Harvey (taxi driver for Anthony), Nolan (logos), Jason (Red mats - not THE Red mat, the good ones), Matt (for arranging the Defence Soap delivery),  Simon White (S&C and getting the hall in the first place), all the speakers/instructors for the seminars, all the guys from Edmonton that make the long journey to Hoddesdon to train with our team and the Scouts for letting us use the venue. Sorry to anyone I have forgot.

A special thank you to Stuart Anderson, a great friend and teammate that gives so much value to the running of the classes. Thank you.

Birthday Party details

The party will be all Saturday the 13th August from 5pm at the Scout Hut in Hoddesdon.

There will be a BBQ (anyone want to be chef let me know), drinks, UFC 133 rerun and a winner takes all 1000 pence cash sock wrestling competition that is open to all ages and gender.

Please let me know if there are any dietary things i need to account for and feel free to bring extra food and drinks.

Wives, Girlfriends, Partners & Kids are welcome, and very much like my classes, meat head idiots that are going to smash the place up are not welcome.

Please can you email me at enzovullo@me.com if you would like to attend and who you will be bringing so I have ann idea of numbers. Please can you also let me knwo if you can't make it.

Cheers and thanks again for the support for the year, I am looking forward to continuing to grow the club with you and dishing out coloured bets!

Cheers

Enzo
